The French Admiral

by Dewey Lambdin Book 2 in the Alan Lewrie Naval Adventures series.

First published 1990

4.3(5,212)

In 1781, Alan Lewrie serves aboard HMS Desperate as the war in America approaches its decisive crisis. Naval manoeuvres off Virginia draw him into the Battle of the Chesapeake, where the French fleet blocks British relief and leaves Cornwallis’s army isolated at Yorktown.

Lewrie then becomes entangled in the siege itself and risks his position to rescue a Loyalist family, including Caroline Chiswick. The campaign forces him to confront defeat, evacuation and divided loyalties while his personal recklessness creates consequences that will follow him long after the British surrender.
